ÇYTHYE 2018 column buckling
Axial compressive strength including flexural buckling per ÇYTHYE 2018 §9. Selects inelastic (0.658^λc²·Fy) or elastic (0.877/λc²·Fy) regime. φc=0.90.

§9Fe=π²E/(KL/r)²; λc≤1.5: Fcr=0.658^(λc²)·Fy; λc>1.5: Fcr=0.877/λc²·Fy. φc=0.90 (ÇYTHYE §9.1).
VERIFYColumn buckling formulas verified: inelastic regime confirmed; elastic (Euler) at high KL/r; strong axis always gives higher φPn than weak axis (same KL).
Preliminary calculation tool. Final design requires full regulatory text and a licensed engineer.
